Global atmospheric loading of the climate-active gas nitrous oxide (N2O) continues to increase. A significant proportion of anthropogenic N2O emissions arises from microbial...

Molecular tools adapted from bacterial CRISPR (clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeat) adaptive immune systems have been demonstrated in an increasingly wide...

Polyploidization is a fundamental process in plant evolution. One of the biggest challenges faced by a new polyploid is meiosis, particularly discriminating between multiple...

Although the primary role of autophagy-dependent cellular self-eating is cytoprotective upon various stress events (such as starvation, oxidative stress, and high temperatures),...

Autophagy is the process by which cytoplasmic components are sequestered in autophagosomal vesicles and delivered to the lysosome for degradation. Defective autophagy has been...
